I know it would take a while, but can you (with like a turret...)?

They only zoom in to drop troops off. You dont have the ordnance to take them out in time.

Probably your most heavy weapons would be rockets, splaser, and a gauss turret, and you don't have enough time.

Check out the Spartan I Project! SIP is one of the biggest groups on Bungie.net, playing Halo 3 the way it is meant to be played, with friends. They help with getting achievements as well. For more info, check out the Spartan I Project Group!

If a tank was one of the vehicles to use in Firefight, then you probably could destroy a Phantom. However, as everyone one else has said, you wouldn't have enough time because the Phantom would drop off the next set of enemies and fly away.

Two or three marines in halo 3 once managed to get one down with bazookas, it crashed right next to me on a warthog.

I dont think you could do it alone, because of time etc, but if there are 3 guys wielding bazookas, they could most probably get one down, if they all keep firing.

Whats the point of wasting your bullets on a ship you wont be able to destroy

I wouldn't waste ordinance on the Phantom.

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

yeah, i think you can... but it would be a waste of ammo. since there would be a new phantom to replace the one you shoot down pretty much instantly

Maybe it wouldn't be a waste of ammo.

Depends on how many points they're worth.

Of course you'd have enough time, grab Fuel Rod ammo from Chieftains and when they come down, stay right by it and focus fire on one of those round things on its front.

Discipline is my Sword,
Faith is my Shield,
Do not leap blindly into uncertainty,
And you may live to reap the rewards.

It would be an interesting feature, though somehow I doubt it.

I hope you can. killing Phantoms in halo 3 was one of my favorite features =D.

Well, I assume you can because its Halo 3's sandbox. Although its a TERRIBLE stategic plan on the players part to try and do so.

i have to say i am hoping for a more destructable inviroment all round, not just phantoms but trees, etc also.

Thou hast been out BR'ed and now wilst feast most succulently upon my bageth of tea

I think 4 guys with rockets, turrets, and fuel rods could take one out. that would save some time ya
